Take these roses off of me
Let me live, let me be
For a little while
Let my eyes see everything and nothing in their time
I do not mind
Who'd have guessed I'd have learned
To let the walls around me burn
And light up the hillside
My words, I ate them for so long
And nothing changed
It was just the same
And I don't know if you see me here
But I can tell you your face is clear
I will see you
Forever
Forever
I will see you
Forever
Forever
Call me close once again
Call me teacher, call me friend
Just like the first time
Call my name
It echoes in the walls around this room
It's all you
And I don't know if you hear me there
When it's darkness and no one cares
I will hear you
Forever
Forever
I will hear you
Forever
Forever
And I wanted you to be
Everything to me
Now I've got to learn to carry on
And I know I cannot hide
This emptiness inside
But nothing is the same since you're gone
Send me letters from above
Send me strength, send me love
Such sweet love
Sing me songs that echo in my head and in my heart
That's where you are
And I don't know if you feel me here
But I can tell you one thing is clear
I will feel you
Forever
Forever
I will feel you
Forever
Forever
I will hear you
Forever
Forever
I will see you
Forever
Forever
Take these roses off of me
Let me live, let me be
Forever-Vertical Horizon
I tried. I really did.
But I just can't do it.
I can't do any of those things the strong people do. I simply cannot contain my anger. I can't let it go. I can't go to the gravesite. I can't drive down that road without thinking about it. I can't pass that church. I can't hear about anyone hanging anything up without that mental image reoccuring. I can't find any comfort in the fact that she's in a better place that I'll ever be. It's getting to be fall again, and I don't know if I can handle it.
Oh, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. I'm so angry. So hurt. I'll offer myself as a bargaining chip, if that's what it takes.
Ahhh. I hate you so much. YOU did this, do you hear me? It was YOU. It's YOUR fault you aren't here, NOT MINE.
I'll never forgive you.
Never.
Never.
